Further evidence that winding up a trust is becoming fundamentally different to the winding up of a company.
Some time ago, Bankruptcy and Insolvency Director, Andrew Lambros of our office, had an article published in the Australian Restructuring Insolvency and Turnaround Journal asking whether or not the winding up of a trust was becoming a completely different system to the winding up of a company.
A Victorian Supreme Court decision of Re Amerind has dealt with one of the potential issues raised in that article. In that decision his Honour has held that the priority payments to employees under the Corporations Act before payment of a secured creditor with a circulating assets security does not apply when a trust is being wound up.
This means that a secured creditor, such as a bank, will get paid before the employees when the trust is being wound up. It also means that the Commonwealth, which pays the employee entitlements under the Fair Entitlements Guarantee System (FEG) and then takes the priority of the employees will face significant shortfalls in the winding up of a trust. This is because it is still obliged to pay the employees their entitlements even though it won't receive the benefit of the priority in return.
This is the complete opposite of what happens when a company (that is not a trustee company) is wound up. In that circumstance the employees and FEG get paid before the secured creditor with the circulating assets security (and other unsecured creditors).
Further, if there are no priority creditors in the winding up of the trust then a liquidator is only dealing with 2 classes of creditors secured and unsecured. This means after secured creditors all other unsecured creditors would simply be treated equally.
There is of course the possibility that this decision could be overturned if it is appealed. Although it should be noted that this decision follows an earlier decision in New South Wales that found priority payments under the Corporations Act for the applicant who obtained the winding up order don't apply to trusts. There is the further possibility that as the Commonwealth is going to be significantly out of pocket under this approach that the government will change the law.
However, if this decision is upheld and followed by other courts it will have significant implications for business structuring. To name just a few possibilities:
- Having a trust structure increases the return to the secured creditor at the expense of the employees. As directors of smaller companies often guarantee the bank loans, having a trust structure, could reduce their personal liability to the bank in a liquidation;
- The improved security position of a trust, might make a financier more willing to provide funding to a trustee company, as opposed to a normal company;
- In group company structures, having security for intercompany loans could be more valuable, as the prospects of recovery from a subsidiary company trading as a trustee of a trust are better than if it was simply a company;
- Insolvency practitioners will find that this are will become more complex and require a number of court applications to resolve other issues associated with the trust structure, these additional expenses, may well reduce the return to unsecured creditors, and
- Conversely, where there is no secured creditor in place, unsecured creditors may receive better dividends, as the employees will not be entitled to be paid first before general unsecured creditors. Instead, they will be treated equally.
Given the way that case law is developing, in the winding up of trusts, it would seem certain this case of Amerind will not be the last time the court deal with the complexities of winding up trusts.
Call on Andrew Lambros T: +61 7 3001 2925 to ensure you have the best possible structure in place to protect your business and avoid the implications of insolvency and liquidation or to discuss the effect of your structure if you need to look at winding up your business.

What You'll Get
Great athletes are not born; they're made out of hard work, determination, and glued-together Wheaties packets. Craft a new champion with today's Groupon: for $39, you get four swim lessons for toddlers or beginning swimmers at The Club at Oak Branch in Greensboro (a $79 value).
The aquatic wing of this upscale fitness center tutors a kaleidoscopic clientele ranging from incipient to Atlantean. The generally 45-minute classes are broken down into 30 minutes of liquid lessons followed by a 15-minute practice and free swim. Select one weekly class to attend when you call to register, with bite-size lesson sessions for toddling water bugs, who may enroll in Toddler 2's, a 20-minute class for 18- to 36-month-olds conducted sans parent, Toddler 3's for the graduates of the first who can swim to the instructor and back to the wall unassisted, or the all-comers Rainbow class, for firmly-landlubbed beginners with absolutely no experience. Infants make Olympic-worthy swimming debuts at Tiny Splash, a child-and-parent group class for kiddos age 3 months and older. Groupon customers may also choose to apply the four-week value of this Groupon to an eight-week swim session and pay the difference.
The facility is kept in as good of shape as the students who frequent the bright, 10-lane pool, which is housed in a veritable castle of marble floors and leather seating, featuring wood-paneled locker rooms and gold-plated towels.

Dream Quotes
Nothing happens unless first a dream.
It does not matter much whom we live with in this world, but it matters a great deal whom we dream of.
The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams.
What if you slept
And what if
In your sleep
You dreamed
And what if
In your dream
You went to heaven
And there plucked a strange and beautiful flower
And what if
When you awoke
You had that flower in your hand
Ah, what then?
Dream as if you will live forever, live as if you will die today.
Your dream is a reality that is just waiting for you to materialize it!
I believe in everything until it`s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it`s in your mind. Who`s to say that dreams and nightmares aren`t as real as the here and now?
There are so many fragile things [...]. People break so easily, and so do dreams and hearts.
Dare to live the life you have dreamed for yourself. Go forward and make your dreams come true.
The good fight is the one that`s fought in the name of our dreams.
I need a prison in order to dream of being free.
A deed is never like the dream of a deed.
This is why dreams can be such dangerous things: they smolder on like a fire does, and sometimes they consume us completely.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.

We have previously told you lot about ISAs being A Good Thing, after all, anything that involves you keeping all your money and the taxman having none of it couldn't be anything else.
However, because an ISA is a tax-free Government Scheme, there are Rules. And not the type that are meant to be broken. Breaking ISA rules means it will lose its lovely tax-free status and all your interest or investment gain will be subject to tax as usual. Which is not a good thing. So we thought we would furnish you lot with a quick breakdown of what you need to know about investing in, and withdrawing cash from an ISA. Cause we're nice like that.
1. How much can I invest in an ISA
If you are lucky enough to have spare cash coming out of your ears, you need to be aware that there are limits people. Annual limits on investment that is. For 2011/12 (the tax year that we are in now) you can invest up to £10,680 a year (or £890 a month) in a stocks and shares ISA, or half those amounts (£5,340 a year/£445 a month) into a cash ISA. There is nothing stopping you having both a cash and stocks and shares ISA, but the total you can invest remains the same at £10,680.
This limit will increase every year with inflation. Looks like it might be quite a bit more next year then.
2. Can I take my money out?
Yes. It's your money. Unless the ISA product you have purchased ties you in for any length of time, you can take your money out willy nilly, if, for example you needed to go to Thailand or something. Even if you are in a fixed duration account you can still get your money, you will just face a loss of interest penalty or the like.
However (and this is a big HOWEVER), withdrawing money does not then replenish your annual limits on investment. If you invest £10,000 and then withdraw £8,000 of it, you still only have £680 limit left. That £8,000 can never again become tax-free savings (well, not in this tax year anyway) so make sure you spend it on something really good. Like bacon.
3. Can I transfer my ISA to another bank/building society/ISA provider?
Yes, but you have to do it properly. If you just take it out and try to reinvest it, you will find yourself in the same situation as above. You have to formally request to transfer your ISA and the banks/providers will do it between themselves within strict time limits from the date of request. Again, NEVER EVER remove the cash yourself.
In many cases, with cash ISAs, it will pay you to transfer your ISA, as i the cash has been invested for any length of time, you may find your interest rate is, well, not very interesting. We have already told you this.
4. Can my small children invest in an ISA?
No. Well, not yet. Currently you need a National Insurance Number to open an ISA account, which means you need to be at least age 16. However, as the Government scrapped the highly popular and lucrative* tax-free saving vehicle known as the Child Trust Fund (CTF), they decided to invent Junior ISAs instead.
Junior ISAs are definitely on the way- they were included in this year's Budget- but the details have not been ironed out. It is expected they will work in a similar way to cash ISAs for grown ups.
5. What does ISA stand for?
Individual Savings Account. Numpty.
*this may be sarcasm.

Beloved teacher of thousands across the planet, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh has lived an extraordinary life. A Buddhist monk since sixteen years of age, he is a scholar, poet, peace activist and leader of a vibrant lineage of the Buddha. With monasteries in Europe, U.S. and Vietnam, his students are spreading his unique methods of teaching mindfulness and the power and beauty of living fully in the present moment.
Recently responding to an invitation from the Vietnamese government
to visit after thirty-nine years in exile, Nhat Hanh spoke to monastic
and lay students, as well as to Communist party officials on the need to
cultivate the spiritual dimension in our lives in order to find
harmony, peace and happiness for ourselves and our society.
Thich Nhat Hanh's multitude of achievements include heading the
Buddhist delegation at the Paris peace talks to end the Vietnam war;
being nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. to receive the Nobel Peace
Prize; and authoring over forty books of Buddhist teachings, poems, and
fiction. Probably his greatest achievement is the cultivation of a
worldwide Sangha (community) of monks, nuns, and laypeople, who are
finding deep healing and transformation through the concrete mindfulness
practice he offers.

Gluepot Reserve is the largest protected mallee scrubland in the country and is managed by volunteers from BirdLife Australia. The area supports many nationally threatened species of birdlife, including the chestnut quail thrush and scarlet-chested parrot.
The reserve covers over 54,000 hectares of arid mallee woods and scrubland. The well-managed dirt tracks mean that greater distances can be covered in the reserve's 4x4 vehicles with an excellent chance of seeing a vast array of resident and migrant birds.
Most notably, the volunteer team at Gluepot is committed to increasing numbers of the black-eared miner bird and to save this declining species from reaching a point of becoming critically endangered.
As well as the remarkable birdlife, this is a fantastic reserve in which to see both western grey and red kangaroo in their plenty. Short-beaked echidna and the rare bandy-bandy snake are also resident within the reserve.
Like so many of Australia's excellent reserves, Gluepot is an important environmental project which, since it was closed off to farming and urbanization in 1997, now safeguards Australia's largest mallee land for future generations.
Key info
- Ideal for viewing: malleefowl, black-eared miner, Gould's wattled bat, red kangaroo, short-beaked echidna
- Where: South Australia, Australia

Sharing Time Idea from the 2015 Outline
I am grateful for the Savior because ___________.
I am grateful for the Savior because ___________.
Thank you–great ideas here! I have a question about printing the popsicle stick toppers. I think previous things I've printed of yours have been through Dropbox and I didn't have any trouble saving them to my computer and then printing them, even without logging into my Dropbox account. For some reason these printables seem to be uploaded to another company (Box) and it won't let me save or print even though it shows a download button. Any idea why? Is there a way to download without creating yet another account for a company I may never use again? 🙂
Hi! I found out that I had reached my monthly bandwidth on Box due to my Valentine's being downloaded so many times. 🙂 I just upgraded my account, so you should be able to download and print them out. Let me know if you have any other problems. Thanks so much!

Yes, the most likely culprits behind extra weight gain include your couch and the snack shelf. But some new studies suggest there are less obvious factors that could lead to mid-section spread. Here are four subtle and weird ways you could be adding pounds—and how to stop it.
1. Couple trouble
Want a compelling reason to immediately resolve your marital woes? Letting your fights get too hot might make you more susceptible to weight gain. A recent study found that couples whose arguments were tinged with hostility had higher levels of a hunger hormone—and were more likely to make poor food choices—than couples who were kinder to each other.
Researchers at the University of Delaware tracked hormone levels in 43 couples as they ate a meal and then discussed their differences. Observers rated the discussions—which often boiled into arguments—on the use of hostile language. Couples who ranked high in the use of hostile language also had the highest circulating levels of ghrelin, a hunger-related hormone that encourages eating. When the researchers asked the couples to fill out food surveys, hostile couples were more likely to report eating foods high in sodium and unhealthy fats compared to those whose interactions were more civil.
"The findings suggest marital distress may be an important risk factor for weight gain," said study author Lisa Jaremka, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Delaware, though she is quick to add that the effect was missing in people already overweight. In other words, don't wait too long to get couples counseling. (Lose up to 15 pounds WITHOUT dieting with Eat Clean to Get Lean, a 21-day clean-eating meal plan.)
2. Overdoing it on iron
If you were thinking about cutting back on red meat to help control calories, here's one more reason that could be a sound plan: A new study suggests the amount of iron in red meat might alter hunger hormones in your body, slowing metabolism and encouraging you to eat more.
Donald McClain, director of the Center on Diabetes, Obesity, and Metabolism at Wake Forest School of Medicine fed mice diets that contained high or low levels of iron while tracking their levels of leptin, an appetite-suppressing hormone. After two months, McClain discovered that leptin levels had dropped by as much as 42 percent in the high-iron mice. To test whether low leptin led to over-eating, he let both groups of mice eat as much as they wanted: Sure enough, the high-iron group downed more calories than mice on the low-iron diet. Finally, McClain checked iron and leptin levels in 76 people and discovered that the higher their iron, the lower their leptin levels were. People with the highest iron had one-third the leptin of those with the lowest amounts of iron. (Everyone's iron levels fell within the normal range.)
McClain's findings suggest iron recommendations—18 mg a day for women 18 to 50 and 8 mg a day for women 51 and older—may be too high, he says. Eating more than a pound of red meat per week could be enough to raise leptin to levels he observed in his research, warned McClain. Unless your doctor says otherwise, you'll want to limit the amount of iron you get from meat and supplements, McClain said. But don't be too concerned about iron sources such as nuts, beans, spinach, tomatoes: You don't absorb as much from these food sources as you do from red meat.

3. Blaming your DNA
Some day, science may be able to link certain genes to a tendency to gain weight—but we're not there yet. And a recent study suggests that believing weight problems are genetic practically guarantees you'll pack on the pounds.
Tapping into a survey of nearly 9,000 women and men, Michael C. Parent, PhD, assistant professor in the department of psychological sciences at Texas Tech University and colleagues analyzed the people's beliefs regarding the genetics of being fat. When Parent followed up three years later, he discovered that the more strongly people believed genetics played a significant role in fatness, the more likely they were to have gained weight. This group was also less likely to exercise and eat right.
Mind is definitely influencing matter here, since Parent's findings also revealed that people who believed their weight was under their control were more likely to eat well, exercise regularly, and have a lower BMI.
"There is no direct genetic cause for obesity," Parent said.
He recommends you avoid playing the genetic blame game; instead, embrace the idea that you are in control of your weight.

4. It's just harder than it used to be
This is truly frustrating news: Recent findings published in Obesity Research & Clinical Practice indicate that we're getting fatter on fewer calories than our parents did. Although we're eating about the same amount of food—and we're equally active—the current generation is gaining more weight than people did 40 years ago.
The researchers analyzed info on more than 36,000 people between 1971 and 2008, comparing diet, activity, and weight. Study author Jennifer Kuk, professor of health and sciences at York University in Toronto found that given the same amount of calories, an adult in 2008 is about 10 percent heavier than she would be in 1971.
"Again, we're finding that weight management is much more complex than just energy in versus energy out," Kuk said.
The solution isn't complex, however: We all have exercise more and be more careful about what we eat. Sigh—see you at the gym.

Well, hemp milk is a pass!!!!! (when cooked!) So that is great! I am still having trouble getting it IN B, but hey, toddlers are known for their pickiness and she is definitely no exception. She is still nursing 8 or more times a day, so we really don't need to push it too much, though I will still be aiming for her to have 4-8oz a day, in one form or another.
So on to our orange friend-- mango! I craved mango constantly when I was pregnant (actually, I craved mostly orange foods-- go figure. Carrots, mango, oranges, cheese, and more cheese. . . ) so I am hoping that what she liked when in utero will transfer to something she can eat as a toddler. I have a whole bag of it in the freezer and am currently debating how to prepare it. Should be interesting! I will keep everyone posted! Wish us luck with our orange friend!

Here is a checklist of things to do if you like to begin graduate school full-time in the Fall. The approximate timetable is provided to guide you through the application process in a timely fashion. You can certainly apply to graduate school at any time before the college deadlines. This particular timeline is designed for students who are interested in receiving assistantship and/or fellowship consideration.
1. Decide what graduate program you would like to pursue. Remember that attending graduate school should lead you toward your ultimate career goal, not just to avoid getting a job and going to work. If you are having trouble narrowing down your graduate school options, then stop by the Career Development Center in Netzer 110 for assistance.
1. Make a list of all the graduate schools in the country that offer your program. The Career Development Center can give you a photocopied list of all the colleges that have the graduate programs that you may be considering. Just stop by the office and ask for help.
1. Write to the colleges/universities of interest and ask them to mail you information about the program, the college, financial aid programs and assistantships and to request a graduate catalog. The Career Development Center has postcards that you can use to begin this process. Just stop by and ask for some "yellow grad school postcards."
2. Determine if you will be required to take a graduate school admission test. There are several common exams including the GRE (general test), LSAT (for law school), MCAT (for medical school), GMAT (for business school). Purchase a study guide from any bookstore and begin to prepare to take the exam. If you have difficulty in a content area, go to the Center for Academic Development & Enrichment in 225 Alumni Hall and ask someone to review those concepts with you. There are also test preparation courses that teach test strategy and are available for a substantial fee. The Career Development Center has information, just stop in Netzer 110 and ask or visit our website at www.oneonta.edu/career.
3. Sign up to take any required graduate admission tests. Keep in mind it will take approximately six weeks for your scores to be sent to the graduate schools. You want colleges to have those test results before they begin reviewing graduate applications. Taking the test early will also give you time to retake the exam should that become necessary.
1. Attend the Graduate and Professional School Fair at the end of October from 1-3 pm in the Chase Gym. Admissions representatives from over 50 colleges and universities will be in attendance.
2. Review the materials from the colleges and narrow your choices down to three or four. Keep in mind that the average graduate school application fee is $50 and that money is usually non-refundable.
3. Graduate schools usually ask candidates to gather three letters of recommendation. Ask primary faculty members and/or other appropriate people if they would be willing to write you a letter of reference for graduate school admission. If they agree, you could open a credential folder in the Career Development Center to house all of your letters of recommendation. That way the person only has to write you one letter and then it can be duplicated and mailed to each graduate school. Please remember to give each recommender a copy of your current resume to use as a guide when writing your letter of recommendation.
3a. Take standardized test(s).
3b. Order transcripts from all post-secondary institutions attended. If fall term grades are expected, then indicate on the transcript request form to mail "after current term grades." Also be sure to ask the Registrar's Office if the current term grades can be sent in time to meet the graduate school application deadline.
1. Complete the applications, and be certain to follow the instructions exactly.
2. Some graduate schools require applicants to write a personal statement as part of the application process (click here for help writing a personal statement). You can ask a faculty member or someone from the Writing Center in Alumni Hall to help you with this project. Remember to have a first draft with you before going to ask them for help.
Late December/Early January
1. Mail all of your graduate applications no later than January 15th (unless the deadline is earlier than that date). This will put you in line for the best assistantships, fellowships and/or financial aid packages. You can certainly apply later, but you may lessen your chances for receiving some form of financial assistance. Many graduate schools send out acceptance letters as early as March for a fall start date.
1. It is always a good idea to have "Plan B", so begin exploring the world of work. That way if graduate school is not an option for you at this time, you will have already begun a preliminary job search.
2. Contact graduate programs about the possibility of visiting the campus during your winter break. Make trips if possible.

The principal of McKinley Middle Academic Magnet School in Baton Rouge provoked an immediate sit-down with Central Office administrators Tuesday with an end-of-the-day intercom pep talk that some listeners took as an admission he had been reading what students were writing that week on standardized tests.
Liz Frischhertz, chief of accountability and assessment for East Baton Rouge Parish schools, said Principal Wiley Brazier was not careful in his words, but there's no evidence that he read test booklets completed by students, which would be a violation of test security.
"He never had access to the tests," she said.
"It's a comment he should not have made," she added.
Still her office has reported the matter to the Louisiana Department of Education as a possible breach in test security, and the middle school is under increased scrutiny for the remainder of testing, Frischhertz said. She also said teachers who still have concerns can give her a call.
Attempts to reach Brazier for comment Thursday night were unsuccessful.
Common Core-connected testing in Louisiana started Monday and continues through Friday. A second session of these tests will be given in May. Third- to eighth-graders are being tested in math, reading and writing via exams developed by a consortium called the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers, or PARCC.
Brazier's comments on the intercom were heard by the school's 750 students and dozens of staff and faculty members, but they were apparently not recorded. Frischhertz said her office had someone at the school monitoring the testing, but testing was over already that day so that person had already left campus.
Frishhertz said her office and her counterpart at the state were contacted by several teachers and at least one parent right after Brazier spoke on the intercom. She said Brazier that afternoon came to meet with her and Adam Smith, the school system's executive director for middle schools, to explain what happened.
Frishhertz said Brazier wrote a short statement recounting what he said and the key passage was a congratulations in which he told students something to the effect of "I'm really pleased with your writing."
The principal explained that he came to this conclusion, while walking through classrooms, based on observing kids hard at work and talking to some afterward. He described those conversations as general in nature, and specific questions and answers were not discussed, which would have been a violation, Frischhertz said.

I recently celebrated a milestone birthday, and on my bucket list of things to do was:
1. Visit the New Orleans French Quarter and stay on Bourbon Street.
2. Go to Niagara Falls, Canada.
Before I left to go on my celebrating trips, I saw on the news that New Orleans was the dirtiest city, and it is, and I'm very ashamed of it.
The state and New Orleans city officials need to at least sweep the streets and power wash out the smell and dirt.
The very next day I flew to Niagara Falls, Canada. It was beautiful and spotless. I am a proud American, but would visit Canada again before I would spend my dollars in New Orleans again.

Buckley attended the ceremony at Rochester's City Hall with Thomastine Sarchet, director of NTID's Center for International Educational Outreach.
Also at the ceremony were representatives from We The Deaf People, Discovering Deaf Worlds and Rochester School for the Deaf.
"Thomastine and I are pleased to represent RIT/NTID and our deaf and hard-of-hearing community at this special event and we are proud to celebrate a great partnership with the City of Rochester," said Buckley. "The Rochester area is home to one of the nation's largest per-capita populations of deaf and hard-of-hearing people, and the presence of NTID plays a significant role in bringing quality students to our region and providing a strong job base for deaf and hard-of-hearing professionals. Deaf Awareness Week is a wonderful opportunity to shine a spotlight on the achievements of our deaf and hard-of-hearing alumni, students, faculty and staff at RIT/NTID."
During the event, Mayor Warren announced the city's ongoing initiatives to make City Hall more deaf friendly, including a new web page that communicates city resources and information about accessing city government for the deaf community.
"I want to make sure that City Hall is as accessible as possible for Rochester's strong deaf community and that resources are readily available to meet their needs," said Mayor Warren, in a news release. "We're working hard to create safer, more vibrant neighborhoods, more jobs and better educational opportunities in our city and we want to make sure every resident in Rochester can be actively engaged in these efforts."
Following International Deaf Awareness Week in Rochester, local organizations, including RIT/NTID, will host a full schedule of activities throughout the community for Deaf Awareness Week, Sept. 25 to Oct. 2. For more information, go to http://www.cityofrochester.gov.

One of the bottlenecks of current HTTP is that it relies solely on multiple connections for concurrency. This causes several problems, including additional round trips for connection setup, slow-start delays, and a constant rationing by the client where it tries to avoid opening too many connections to a single server. HTTP "pipelining" doesn't help, as each connection may be blocked on the request at the head of the line; in addition, many proxies apparently have poor support for pipelining. Applications, in their desire to create many connections, create many sub-domains to work around browser per-domain connection throttling.

In conversation with Simon Denny

New Mangement, 2014. Installation View, Portikus, Frankfurt (Main). Photo: Helena Schlichting
Using technology in art gives an artist and the public a chance to do something that was never possible before. By using technology in art, one can create entirely new art forms, hence new experiences. I mean, that is also how Interview Magazine started, how everything around Warhol started. The Factory was a place of experimentation with all types of art, so now having Simon Denny in Interview is the most logical step. Simon Denny is a multidisciplinary artist whose work unpacks the politics around technology, business culture, surveillance, etc. He is pushing the boundaries of what is known as a traditional art and is embracing the fact that technology is an integral force in the advancement and progression of culture. In all his work he is creating new human experiences, which are on occasion complex to understand or even explain. Denny is collaborating with the machines. He is also an artist that has been exhibited in Serpentine Gallery, MoMA PS1, he represented New Zealand at the 56th Venice Biennale, etc. all by the age of 34. Denny was born in 1982.
We sat down with Simon Denny for an extensive interview to talk about future, hacking and his heroes. Though Denny is our hero, we know that even heroes have heroes.
So, Simon, for a start, how would you describe your work to someone who is not so engaged in the tech world?
My work tries to unpack the cultural space that the giants of the emergent power, that is the global Tech community, occupy. It's about looking at how the people that define our communication networks present themselves, what their values are and how we want to engage with that. I think sometimes the politics of these communities are less than visible, so I see what I am doing as some kind of way of digesting that with the tools that art has to offer. Art is good at meta, and I try to apply the critical languages I have been a fan of in art to a cultural space with a huge amount of impact on the way we live and think.
What's your background? How did you get to become an artist?
Through the kinds of gate-keeping systems that are in place in the art community, I went to art school. I first did this in Auckland, New Zealand where I grew up and then in Frankfurt. Universities and art schools are usually where the art community I am a part of starts. I then met people, followed my interests with various ongoing conversations I had and was really lucky with timing and my background. I had a much easier path than many to get the opportunities I have had.
Were you always interested in technology or that came with your move to Frankfurt and time when you first started thinking about computers differently and consequentially started producing art infused by technology and the way we communicate with the world?
Yeah, that totally came with my move. I was suddenly away from home with basically nothing except a 2003 laptop. This object became my portal to the world. It was access to learning at school, entertainment at home and like all contact with friends that were not in Frankfurt. That was the year the iPhone came out (2007), and it was just becoming super clear to my friends and me that this was the beginning of an entirely new or mutated cultural logic. I wanted to look into the people defining the hardware and software protocols that were ushering in this change. I wanted some kind of insight into what value systems underscored these powerful objects and evolving network infrastructures.
When you put your work out in public, do you ever feel that once it's in circulation the work gets manipulated and moulded by different approaches/ways of understanding?
For sure. I mean, I think that meaning making in art is collective and has as much to do with a practice's reception as it has to do with what I or any artist intends. I also believe in art as a space for experiments and risks. Engaging in a live dialogue around an emergent cultural space (like Tech) is risky because politics can shift and perceptions can change over time. There is never a 'final word' on a discussion around a certain topic, especially if one is truly dealing in the contemporary. Part of what I do is trying to articulate how a certain moment feels, so when the mood changes it can reflect a time and a place from a particular perspective. That is clearly only possible if what I am doing is digested and packaged in a wider discussion, both in the art world and beyond. Maybe in the tech community itself to some extent, if possible. This is necessary, but it also means I am not totally in control. Sometimes I feel as much as a passenger or a navigator of the work's meaning.
Do you see your work adapting to the journey it goes through once you release it?
I can't help but do so. Each move is informed by the reception of the move beforehand. I am as much a viewer of my work as I am an author in certain moments, I exist in both roles. A body of work is made, released, and then there is some kind of feedback that happens that makes me see it in certain ways. That cycle and how the world feels to me at certain time influences what happens in the next moment when I become an author again. Obviously, that process is not as kind of compartmentalized as that summary implies, but essentially those are the variables at play. How people feel about certain outputs seems to change at certain times, sometimes to the point where the meaning of work can also shift a lot, physically it doesn't change, but the dialogue around it and therefore the meaning of it does. So, I adapt in meaning as an author as I engage and output at different moments, and so does the work, already in the process of reception, which I guess never stops until nobody cares anymore.
Installation View, Berlin Biennale 2016
How often do you involve audiences in the process/artwork?
Well, every time. As I say, I think that reception is also creation but sometimes more explicitly also. TEDxVaduz was a collective project that involved overlapping institutional frameworks in making sense. Without the country (Liechtenstein) reading as a place associated with financial 'offshoring,' without TED itself being THE dominant rhetorical package for propagating a certain strain of Silicon Valley values, without the other artist speakers and the local Vaduz-based audience attending the event at the Kunstmuseum, none of the gesture would have read. We were all performers, both institutions, and individuals. That was also the case in my Venice pavilion in 2015. The Guardian newspaper became a similar institutional vehicle for performance and the 'star' of the show. David Darchicourt, a talented designer that worked for the NSA, became at once the audience for the project and its subject. The New Zealand Arts Council, the Marco Polo airport, and the Biblioteca Marciana and those communities that interface with each of these institutions were also in that position, both as performer and audience.
How much time do you spend on research and how much time on the actual making of an artwork?
I guess, for me, the research is also part of the making, and it's often a process which is concurrent. I start producing the objects or structures that will inform my output as I am researching, so the material or intellectual output of my process happens concurrently to my research, not after. A project may pivot many times before release, and if I was first researching then executing, the content might be out of date or under-informed upon release. But this is part of the risk of making contemporary art that interfaces with emergent cultural spaces. One cannot simply know things and then execute.
Having said that, a typical project for me takes between 6 months and two years to conceive and execute. That's not to say it might not continue to evolve in meaning and execution after its debut, just like we spoke about in the previous question. Projects like 'The Personal Effects of Kim Dotcom' are like this. His politics evolved, so did my varying presentations. It ended up being a project that began in 2012, first made public in 2013 but was still 'live' even in 2016, with further iterations that meant something maybe even opposite to how they started their journey.
Your work requires a lot of financial support, I would say. Do your supporters mostly come from the art world or tech world?
Financial support for my projects comes almost exclusively from the art world. Tech people have been generous with access to information and intellectual property at times (and at times the opposite), but funding for my practice follows a very traditional art world model – sales of objects, institutional arts funding, private collector support. It's also, by the way, very precarious. I often 'bet the farm' on projects of scale (like the Venice Biennale project) where I put in a lot of my own money that I have managed to gain off previous gambles. I hope I am able to continue production at scale if necessary, but also I am a believer in the art that also doesn't cost so much to make. It's obviously not always about big complicated objects, even though many of my recent projects have ended up taking that format.
Have you ever hacked someone for private matters and not for work?
Haha, depends on what you mean by 'hack.' Making friends could be seen as a Hum-Int hack, right? But like seriously, no, I am actually not all that dexterous in hacking as my work's focus might suggest. I would not know where to start with a private hack, or indeed why one would even choose that direction in private matters.

Who are some of your heroes?
Artist heroes are almost too many to name also my peers and friends become my heroes in many moments. Michael Stevenson was a big influence when I was going to art school in New Zealand. His complex, humorous and clever way of working through content was a big inspiration for me. Luke Willis Thomson is another hero closer to home, an artist who I met one a trip back to Auckland who now lives in London and is doing amazing things in risky territory, processing very complicated politics. Barbara Steveni's step to create Artist Placement Group has been an inspiration of how organisations of artists can try interface with industry. Raindance Corporation and all its splinters from Radical Software to TVTV was an example for me of how artists have dealt very meaningfully with contemporary media (in this case TV and video in the 1970s). I feel like parts of what DIS do, could be seen as a sort of recent update of that kind of approach. Mike Kelley has also been a constant reference point for me in complex exhibition making practice that also distils moments outside of art in a really productive way, as has Isa Genzken in her use of materials and space in exhibition craft. Martha Rosler in terms of political engagement and critical viewing… I could go on and on…
In one of your old interviews, where you talk about Peter Thiel (he is the PayPal co-founder and Facebook's first professional investor, Trump supporter, etc.) you said, "I realized these kinds of people are designing our future, our world." Tell me more. How are they designing it? Are we supposed to be afraid of them?
How are people like Thiel designing the future? You partly answered the question yourself. He's an investor in one of the most important and influential media platforms on the planet (FB) and is close to the current president of the USA to mention two points of strong influence. He has also invested in powerful big data companies that touch the military and health care internationally (Palantir). He is involved in researching education, Seasteading, anti-aging, the list goes on. He's deep in researching and designing possible influential global businesses of tomorrow. The way those systems (like Facebook and Paypal) behave as software that shapes the way we think as much as the way we can communicate is super powerful. Also, as a very influential V.C., the ideas that he thinks are good, have much more chance of becoming real. He will simply fund projects that are in line with his politics. The influence is there, and the politics are more than problematic if you value democracy and are against authoritarianism and monopoly, which I am. So the answer to the other part of your question, "are we supposed to be afraid" of such people? I mean, again, I can answer that in the first person, I certainly am. In Thiel's recent lawsuit on behalf of Hulk Hogan, he mentioned something like "single-digit millionaires have no purchase on the legal system in the States," which was his reason to be involved, as he has – much – more money and therefore influence in that system, and felt strongly about the case. If this is true, and it may well be the case that it is, it means the system is corrupt and undemocratic. It goes without saying that in my mind a justice system needs to as fair as it can be, and accessible to all.
He stands in for a class of Silicon Valley influencers that are really problematic, structurally, and in terms of where money is distributed, where it stays and who has access to capital. Just the VC system itself is problematic like this. Take Uber, for example, they are a venture funded company that gains its (global) market share by putting other Taxi companies in any jurisdiction, without state protection in the industry, out of business by offering a more convenient service for less money. Why are they able to offer that service cheaper? Because that is the bet. VC funds can lose billions of dollars for ten years, and the company will still gain market share at the end of that period because nobody else in the industry can sustain such losses over such a long period, just because they are not as wealthy. They offer their products at a loss, which is a price nobody in the industry is able to do, especially smaller players, so they put everyone else out of business and gain total monopoly at the end of the period. And this is even without mentioning how 'platform' companies like this shift as much risk as possible to their customers, which are both – the drivers and the passengers. They own almost no assets and are not responsible for their asset's upkeep beyond the software and infrastructure that keeps the software in place.
Theil studied under Rene Girard at Stanford – the ivy league university which is part of the backbone of Silicon Valley. Girard's mimetic theory also seems like a big influence on Thiel's widely read book 'Zero to One,' and the scapegoat, another mainstay of Girardian theory, is visible across right wing politics rhetorical strategy… I could go on about the position. It's a pivotal one because it's a nexus of a lot of very powerful things I think more people should be more aware of the political implications of.
How do you think our future will look like?
I am not sure, of course, and future-casting is very complicated as a practice (even very informed people are often wrong), but we are (societally) going to have to deal with many undeniable truths in the coming years. The fact that jobs are fewer due to automation globally is something that needs addressing. Even if that is only a dip in the type of jobs that are on offer (if more skilled work in education and healthcare become our new growth industries as some commentators are saying), there is going to have to be, at the very least, a massive shift away from 'unskilled labor.' The fact that narratives that used to provide people with a lot of meaning and societal cohesion are now not as believable as they once were is something we all have to face. That the trend for the wealthy to accumulate more wealth is leading to an enormous amount of inequality that seems hard to address structurally, is very important to take seriously. This is to say nothing of the way that global commerce and politics as it exists today will exhaust our planet's resources very soon. In order to address any of these issues in an efficient manner, I think we need some kind of fairer global governance system that is not lead by (but also does not ignore) finance. I believe that we need democratic checks and balances on free markets, to remember that markets themselves are not inherently naturally self-correcting and ideas of meritocracy need to take into account structural and systemic disadvantages for participants that may not be visible to those in power. We will need some kind of version of redistribution of capital. Be it in the form of UBI (which is also complicated in the way it might be implicated could vary wildly on its impact) or in versions of 20th-century welfare that would be adapted to contemporary conditions. I hope we don't go towards a future where there is a very wealthy élite that occupies an ecologically unspoiled or somehow insulated part of our planet, while much more are left to fend for themselves in an increasingly hostile environment.
Do you think artists have a responsibility to engage with the political issues that the world is currently embroiled in?
I mean, I think in terms of resources. I think right now, for me, it really makes sense for art to be looking in the direction of politics more explicitly. I would not like to prescribe what artists should and should not do. I think part of the methodology of art that I value, and that for me produces some amazing ways of seeing culture, is that there is a lot of scope for experimentation and risk. I think that also what looks political and experimental sometimes might not be and vice-versa. So, I would always say that an open art methodology should be valued whatever the direction of the individual project or set of interests happen to be.
But yes, I personally prefer an art world that is self-consciously politically engaged. I find the work more compelling and interesting at the moment when it has an overtly political dimension to it. As a companion to this idea, obviously, the art is so much more a part of finance that it feels very important to address art's structural role in becoming a space of speculation. A luxury space that addresses those at the very top of the economic spectrum, which is inherently deeply political and while happening for a long time has only accelerated recently. Art needs to take this into account to stay meaningful. If that is a naturalized kind of norm that is never addressed, I think art loses its potential and power.
How do you do it?
I think for me looking at the politics of those who yield power and influence, to look at the aesthetics they use, the values that underpin it, the systems they implement and how, is a pretty tangible place to start. If we do not know the coordinates of those in power, we do not know what to address. If we understand nothing of the mechanisms of the things that change our world, then we have no possibility of developing effective tools to engage with them. I think we should take seriously both those things we understand and agree with and those things we don't. I believe that art is well positioned to unpack and put on stage things that affect us culturally in a very contemporary environment that we might not think of as having a cultural dimension, to give us the experience of digesting it and decide what we want to do with it. Any art that does this in a profound way is a public service. Any art that can move us emotionally through a way of truly sensing what is happening to us politically, I think is worthwhile.
What is your primary concern at the moment?
I guess it's trying to figure out a way to take forward what I have been doing, in the space of diagnosing problematic positions in exhibition form, further into space where I am imagining answers or trying to help to imagine answers. I think, doing things in the way that I have been doing them in the past few years, has been an important part of me learning about a field like tech, that I think is powerful and useful to address. I am trying to figure out how to imagine answers as well as diagnose problems right now, and it's not a straightforward thing. I think diagnosing problems is a lot easier than suggesting potential answers, and there's a bigger margin for error and mistake in proposing productive directions forward. One can easily make mistakes or propose directions that turn out not to make sense because it's harder to imagine problems in a speculative palace than see them in an existing set of phenomena. We also exist in a space right now where there is very little tolerance in the arts for failure. For exploring directions that are hard and problematic, knowing that there will be miss-steps, that also makes things much harder to do.
When and why, did you move to Berlin? How does the city influence your artistic practice?
I moved from Auckland to Frankfurt to go to art school, and then from Frankfurt, I moved to Cologne very briefly and then to Berlin. Mostly because most of my friends, people making art that I was connected to, and my girlfriend at the time was in Berlin. I was for sure influenced by what I felt was the artistic conversation around me – other artists unpacking the tech space – it was a pretty exciting time to be moving to Berlin. I think intellectually, I was strongly influenced by those peers I came into contact with through the school in Frankfurt and Berlin afterward. The dialogue that was dominant in Frankfurt amongst the students I was in touch with was very focused on art history. I was a fan of that and into that, but the group of people I came into contact with in Berlin was more focused on science, on technology and business and how that was influencing our culture. I found their enquiries to be more focused on the contemporary, about unpacking the world we live in, rather than orbiting around a more specific space in art's recent past. That seemed more urgent at the time and shifted my perspective and focus on the path I am still on in a way.
Which projects are you currently working on, and what are inspirations and influences behind it?
I am working on a piece for a talk and a performance at the EU Parliament in Brussels that is part of a summit that looks at the future of the internet in Europe. Many industry leaders and policy makers will be there, including people like Bill Gates, and they have asked me to speak from an art perspective to a question around the future of media. I am developing a video for that and intervention into the summit that proposes anonymous message boards as a potential space to explore for artists looking to participate in creating stuff that gets distributed in a different kind of way across the internet. I am thinking of a forum where some of the creative energy that goes into producing gallery work (luxury products, economically speaking) might be redirected into producing something that could spawn a grassroots political language of the left in the way that 4chan memes have become such powerful carriers of right wing ideas to certain communities. I have all sorts of thoughts around what makes a space that might work in this way, and some exciting conversation partners including people that have studied anonymous spaces and people that code and understand how software influences behavior. It's an attempt to start doing what I mentioned before – to propose answers as opposed to just diagnosing problems. I hope it can be the type of space where reputational problems are also not the primary concern, where criticism can happen to creative work that has no impact on people's reputation that correlates with income and opportunities in our current art system.

Simon, now after all of this, a serious question – do you cook? What is your best dish?
I do cook. Well, I used to cook, but just because at the moment I do not have that much space in my kitchen, there is no real oven. But when I was cooking more, my best dish, I think, was a carrot and mushroom loaf, kind of like a vegetarian meatloaf. It's a dish I learned as a teen. My parents encouraged my cooking by expecting I would cook at least two nights a week when I was a teenager. I learned a lot from them, and then I learned more from my former partner who is an amazing cook.
What is the longest you've gone without sleep?
Haha, um, a few days. I don't do nootropics though, so one reaches a physical limit.

text: Hereford College of Arts National Student Survey 2017 30.08.2017 For another year running, Hereford College of Arts (HCA) has achieved excellent results in the National Student Survey (NSS). HCA achieved 90% overall satisfaction, and ranks highly in the UK, where the national benchmark is 81% for overall satisfaction. It is also placed well above the regional benchmark for providers based in the West Midlands. With its 90% overall satisfaction rating, HCA was rated higher than nearby universities including Worcester University, University of Gloucestershire and Cardiff Metropolitan University (all achieved overall satisfaction of 84%) and Birmingham City University (82% overall satisfaction). HCA students completing the survey also provided very positive responses around the quality of the teaching of their courses, with 93% positively rating the teaching on their course, and 93% agreeing their course provided opportunities for them to explore ideas or concepts in depth. When asked if their course challenged them to achieve their best work, an impressive 96% of HCA students agreed it had. The NSS measures student satisfaction and feedback in higher education. Scoring is based on teaching, tutor support, assessment and learning, and the survey was completed by approx. 303,765 final year students on degree programmes this year. Across the UK, 84% of students who completed the survey were overall satisfied with their course.

Little David Lost is now available as an e-book!
I thought long and hard about whether or not to put this book out there as an e-book, but decided that in the long run, I wanted people to read it. It is my attempt at a YA horror and I'd like to think I did a good job with it. It's quite the departure from the Kat Redding series, but I'm fine with that. I never wanted to be locked into one genre or one series. I like to experiment!
You can find Little David Lost at most e-book retailers, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Smashwords.
If you pick it up, feel free to let me know! I'd love to hear what you think.

The key to keeping your roof in the best condition and ensuring it lasts as long as it should is regular maintenance. That means getting your roof repair completed as soon as you notice a problem and having a local roofing contractor perform roof inspections annually. Too many people tend to neglect their roof in between roof replacements. What happens when you neglect your roof for too long? A minor roof repair becomes a major home restoration.
Water Damage
Water damage occurs in your home when a part of your roofing system fails. Once you notice water damage in your home it's likely your roof has been leaking for a long time. When a brown spot appears on your ceiling or walls, you or your roofing contractor have to determine the source of the leak. Water follows the path of least resistance so it is possible that a roof leak originates far from the damage you see. When you have water damage to your ceiling or walls, it's likely your roof repair is going to be much more than what a typical roofing contractor does. That's when you need the services of a restoration company like Abracadabra Restoration Specialists who can perform the roof repair and the restoration of your ceilings and walls.
Deteriorating Flashing
Flashing is one of the most important elements in your roofing system. As this image shows, no flashing was installed around the skylight, instead a metal duct tape that is only intended for use inside was used. This homeowner required a good amount of roof repair as well as home restoration. Flashing should also be installed around your chimney and any other vent or roof protrusion. Even when flashing is properly installed it can deteriorate over time so be sure to have your roofing contractor look at your flashing during your annual roof inspection.
Ruined Soffits and Fascia
The soffits and fascia are integral parts of your roofing system. A roof leak due to failing shingles or flashing can ruin your soffits or fascia. In this image, the homeowner waited too long to repair a small roof leak and ended up with a bigger issue. As you can see, not only is there water damage to the soffit but also to the support beam. The fascia board also had to be replaced.
Waiting to make a roof repair can lead to bigger issues costing you more in the long run than regular roofing maintenance would have. Annual roofing inspection can help prevent small issues from becoming big home restoration jobs. Abracadabra Restoration Specialists is your local roofing contractor and restoration company. Let us inspect your roof, perform roof repairs, and help prevent the need for our restoration services. Call today for your no obligation inspection – 540-977-0045.
